Dell UltraSharp U3425WE IPS Black monitor with 120 Hz and KVM

Dell unveiled a new 120Hz monitor for Mac users, called the UltraSharp U3425WE. This monitor belongs to the UltraSharp series and boasts a 120Hz refresh rate with a high-contrast IPS black panel like the Dell U2724DE (REVIEW) released at the end of 2023. It features a curved design, offering an ultra-wide UWQHD resolution of 3440 x 1440 pixels.

The UltraSharp U3425WE promises a 2000:1 contrast ratio and all the typical advantages of an IPS panel, such as high viewing angle stability. It also supports a 10-bit color depth and achieves 100 percent sRGB, 100 percent Rec. 709, 98 percent DCI-P3, and 98 percent Display P3. For those concerned about ambient brightness, the monitor can dynamically adjust its brightness using a built-in sensor, contributing to energy-saving and eye protection.

In terms of connectivity, the UltraSharp U3425WE offers an impressive range of interfaces, including HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, Thunderbolt 4 (with 90-watt PD), RJ-45 (2.5 Gbit/s), USB-C, and six USB-A ports. It also features a headphone output. Additionally, Dell has incorporated a fully-featured USB-C docking station along with a KVM switch that enables network KVM for two computers. Picture-in-picture and picture-by-picture modes are also available.

The monitor provides flexible positioning options. In addition, it can be tilted, rotated, and adjusted in height to meet individual preferences. Furthermore, it includes a blue light filter for eye protection. Moreover, the monitor can be conveniently adjusted and managed through the Dell Display Manager software. Alternatively, users can also utilize the OSD and joystick for operation.
